I soon found the Details, Dupes Only and Delta buttons at the top. Sizes were displayed, and the percentage similarity, and you could list ascending or descending by any column. I’d slightly tweaked the preferences so it wasn’t only looking for exact matches and, sure enough, small JPEG versions of the giant TIFFs (Photoshop PSDs are recognised too) were coming up as matches. Helpfully, DupeGuru PE seemed to consider my TIFFs to be the originals, which is what I had in mind. Once the scan had finished, I had to scratch my head a bit about what to do next the “originals” seemed to be listed in blue, and the duplicate images were in black. The results of my image scan, showing Details comparison window But it helpfully gives a progress indicator showing the number of files, and how many have been scanned so far.

Don’t expect it to zip through hundreds of pictures in an instant even on this powerhouse mac it took a good few minutes.

I set it to work straight away on a two folders full of TIFF scans (dragged into the window), some of which had been resized and resaved to JPGs.

Installing on a big 2x3Ghz Quad Core Intel Xeon powermac was no trouble download the image, open it and drag the app to the applications folder.

Payment works using the fairware approach, where the amount of hours spent creating the software are logged, and you’re reminded when you open the software of how many hours work has been done on your behalf, which should be enough to prompt any reasonable-minded user to fling a few crusts their way, via PayPal. And continuing well with free-to-download software available on Windows, Linux and OS X. Dupe Guru PE (picture Edition) reviewĪ good start by Hardcoded Software, with a punning reference (presumably) to the excellent sampling duo Loop Guru. Reviews are completely independent and are one of the many arms of. All the products are ones that I’ve purchased and used. I figure it's going to take me more than a year but I've been slow and steady and it feels like I'll eventually win the race.Random Reviews is a simple collection of equipment, software and consumer reviews for creative people and artists, with really good pictures (click on photos to see hi-res versions where available). I have almost 4TB of photos now (lots of huge RAWs) but this process has helped me get rid of many hundreds of GB and I'm less than halfway through the process. So she's pruning some files in general as I'm sorting and deleting and cleaning up. I'm making slow and steady progress.Įverything is viewable in Plex and the actual folder situation is totally hidden, so my wife helps out by going through the timeline and nuking duplicates and bad and blurry pics on occasion when she's using her iPad. That helped forced me go through everything systematically and makes it easy to find dupes as I move stuff from the old mess of folders into the new sorted folder tree. I began with a whole new date-based sorting system starting by year. It's time consuming but I've made some headway after a decade of stuff just piling up. The only really reliable and thorough way for me has just been to sort by date and just manually go through the photos and spare only the best ones.
